Two teams mired in the play-in places in the Eastern Conference battle in Atlanta when the Atlanta Hawks welcome the Orlando Magic to the State Farm Arena. The Hawks, who saw their three-game streak snapped at New York before the All-Star break, begin a run of ten home games in twelve, offering an opportunity to get into automatic play-off places. After suffering terribly since his quad injury, the Magic hopes to have Jalen Suggs back for the visit to Atlanta. The Magic have won five from nineteen since their Shooting Guard got injured in early January. The Orlando Magic lost to the Atlanta Hawks 112-106 last week but are the bookmakers’ favorites to win this game.

Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks (26-29, eight in the Eastern Conference) played their NBA-high 31st road game in their 149-148 overtime loss to the New York Knicks last Thursday before the All-Star break. Trae Young, who had been called up to the All-Star roster a few days earlier, led the Hawks with 38 points and 19 assists as the Hawks dropped the first game in four. In a tight match, the Hawks closed a six-point deficit and missed a chance to win the game in normal time. Earlier in the week, Atlanta beat the Orlando Magic 112-106 in Florida for a third straight victory. Trae Young, who was added to the All-Star roster as a replacement for Giannis Antetokounmpo, led his team with 19 points. The Hawks, who have four wins from six after going eight without a win, will be without Larry Nance Jr. and Vit Krejci due to injuries.

Paolo Banchero scored 24 points and eight rebounds to lead the Orlando Magic past a Charlotte Hornets side plagued with injuries 102-86 in the Magic’s last game before the All-Star Game break last week. The victory was the Magic’s fifth win in 19 games without Jalen Suggs and a second win in three after losing at home to the Atlanta Hawks on February 11. Franz Wagner added 16 points and seven rebounds, and Anthony Black came from the bench to finish with 18 points. Jalen Suggs, out with a quad contusion since January 3, is expected back against Atlanta. Magic has the poorest 3-point shooting record in the entire NBA.
